It didn’t take long for Star Wars theories and Easter eggs to flood the internet after The Last Jedi hit theaters (we put together our own handy video here).
As it turns out, that film features an Easter egg that sets up a crucial plot point in The Last Jedi.
Via EW, a particularly eagle-eyed Star Wars fan picked up on the reference in Rogue One.
It’s an interesting connection, and given that the screenplay for The Last Jedi was already written while Gareth Edwards was filming Rogue One, it seems likely that the reference was planted there on purpose — sort of like a retroactive Easter egg.
